Man gets prison time for gun theft

LOWVILLE  A Copenhagen man was sentenced Friday in Lewis County Court to state prison time on a gun-theft charge.

Jeremy F. Snyder, 28, of 7958 Cobb Road, was sentenced as a second felony offender to 1½ to 3 years in prison, $911.90 in restitution and $375 in court fees on a charge of fourth-degree grand larceny, to which he pleaded guilty Dec. 6. He was accused of stealing a gun belonging to George Rauch on April 1 in the town of Watson.

The sentence is to run concurrently with a pending, similar sentence in Jefferson County Court, in which he pleaded guilty Jan. 6 to third-degree attempted criminal possession of a weapon and third-degree attempted criminal sale of a firearm. In that case, he admitted that on April 1 in the town of Champion he possessed a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle with the intent to sell it. It was illegal for him to possess the gun because he was convicted of third-degree burglary in Lewis County Court in 2011. Sentencing in the Jefferson County case is scheduled for Friday.

Also in Lewis County Court on Friday:

Todd M. Suiter, 23, of 7574 S. State St., was sentenced to 60 days in county jail, three years probation and $250 in court fees on charges of third-degree assault and resisting arrest, to which he pleaded guilty Oct. 4.

Mr. Suiter was accused of hitting Lewis County Sheriffs Deputy Brett W. Croneiser and trying to avoid arrest July 25 in the town of Watson.

David A. Mastro, 33, of 7854 Bailey Road, Glenfield, was arraigned on a charge of fourth-degree criminal mischief and pleaded guilty to the charge. Sentencing was set for April 11. Mr. Mastro was accused of damaging a 2000 Dodge Intrepid belonging to Regina Wallace on July 29 in the town of Watson.

Michael A. Bauer, 33, Poughkeepsie, was arraigned on a new charge of second-degree bail jumping and pleaded innocent. His case  also including a charge of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon  was adjourned to Friday.

Mr. Bauer was accused of stealing two revolvers from the town of Greig residence of Randolph Bauer in September 2012, then failing to appear for a sentencing hearing Nov. 8 in County Court after pleading guilty to the weapon charge in April.

Shane M. Hayes, 37, of 6174 Blue St., Glenfield, was arraigned on a charge of felony aggravated driving while intoxicated and pleaded innocent. His case was adjourned to Feb. 28. Mr. Hayes was stopped Aug. 25 on Main Street in Glenfield.

Ms. Jenne was accused of trying to pass herself off as Kurt Jenne on April 15 by providing his personal information to a financial loan company, and of cashing a $5,000 check Sept. 9 from a Community Bank account that didnt have money in it.
